Buick 2000 manual Yellow blue

AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (B): This position is for normal driving. If you need more power for passing, and you're:

DGoing less than about 35 mph (55 km/h), push your accelerator pedal about halfway down.

DGoing about 35 mph (55 km/h) or more, push the accelerator all the way down.

You'll shift down to the next gear and have more power.

THIRD (3): This position is also used for normal driving, however, it offers more power and lower fuel economy than AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (B).

Here are some times you might choose THIRD (3) instead of AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (B):

DWhen driving on hilly, winding roads

DWhen towing a trailer, so there is less shifting between gears

DWhen going down a steep hill

SECOND (2): This position gives you more power but lower fuel economy than THIRD (3). You can use SECOND (2) on hills. It can help control your speed as you go down steep mountain roads, but then you would also want to use your brakes off and on.

NOTICE:

Don't drive in SECOND (2) for more than 5 miles (8 km), or at speeds over 55 mph

(90 km/h), or you can damage your transaxle. Use AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (B) or

THIRD (3) as much as possible.

Don't shift into SECOND (2) unless you are going slower than 65 mph (105 km/h), or you can damage your engine.
